There is a typo error, the perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/√3 centimeters.
Answer:
Radius = OB= 27 cm
Apothem = 13.5 cm
A diagram is attached for reference.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/√3 centimeters.
Substituting this in the formula of perimeter of equilateral triangle =
Thus from the diagram , Side
We know each angle of an equilateral triangle is 60°.
From the diagram, OB is an angle bisector.
Thus °
Apothem is the line segment from the mid point of any side to the center the equilateral triangle.
Therefore considering ΔOBE, and applying tan function.
Thus ,apothem OE= 13.5 cm
Now for radius,
We consider ΔOBE
Thus for
Perimeter of equilateral triangle ABC is 81/√3 centimeters,
The radius of equilateral triangle ABC is 27 cm
The apothem of equilateral triangle ABC is 13.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The shape of the new pizza must meet the conditions:
- Be an irregular polygon (different sides and/or angles).
- Have at least five sides.
- Have the approximately the same area as a 14" diameter circle.
- Fit in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square.
- Be divisible into 8-12 equal pieces.
For simplicity, I will choose a polygon with 5 sides (a pentagon), and I will use 2 right angles (a "house" shape).
Split the pentagon into a rectangle on bottom and triangle on top. If we cut the rectangle into 8 pieces like a regular pizza, and the triangle in half, we get 10 triangles.
Now we just need to figure out the dimensions. The area of a 14" circular pizza is:
A = πr²
A = π (7 in)²
A ≈ 154 in²
That means the area of each triangle slice needs to be 15.4 in². If we make the total width of the pentagon 14", then the width of each triangle is 7", and the height of each triangle is:
A = ½ bh
15.4 in² = ½ (7 in) h
h = 4.4 in
Which makes the total height of the pentagon 3h = 13.2 in.
So, our 13.2" × 14" pentagon has at least 5 sides, is irregular, has the same area as a 14" diameter circle, fits in a 14⅛" × 14⅛" square, and can be divided into 8-12 equal pieces.
Of course, there are many possible solutions. This is just one way.
